Masi Costasera Amarone Contemporary Art 1999 By Maya von Moos

The ‘Costasera Contemporary Art’ project involves the selection of an internationally renowned artist, with origins in a country historically linked to Masi, creating a work of art dedicated to the iconic Costasera Amarone. The artist selected for the 2015 edition was Maya von Moos, from Switzerland, whose talent is expressed in the innovative art form of 3D animation, which allows her to construct each element and animate it to tell a story. Her work is entitled ‘The Metamorphosis of Matter’ and her visual synthesis is depicted on the labels that adorn a precious selection of bottles of Costasera 1999. Costasera maintains the esteemed qualities of Masi’s classic Costasera Amarone. Crafted from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, the wine is aged to perfection, striking a delicate balance between fruity and spicy notes. The wine showcases an extremely intense ruby red colour with mahogany brown edges. The nose is linear and intense with aromas of blueberries and plums, accompanied by characteristic hints of cooked cherries. On the palate it is decidedly austere, aromas of plum jam and hints of smokiness. Long finish with touches of coffee and chocolate. This is a great wine for flavoursome foods, red meat or roasts, game, and mature cheeses with a good bite to them, such as parmesan. Also an excellent after-the-meal wine. ABV 15%
